To celebrate International Hawaiian Pizza Day, we created this Detroit-style spin on the classic. Its origins?

Method
Tip: If you don’t know how to break down and slice a fresh pineapple, watch our recipe video above for a how-to.
Preheat your oven to 400°C (650°F). Cover your pizza dough with the mozzarella cubes, distributing evenly all the way to the edge of the crust. (This will guarantee you have bites of caramelised cheese around the pizza.)
Top the pizza with two stripes of tomato sauce running, lengthwise across the dough.
Sprinkle on the sliced ham, pineapple, and banana peppers, then top with the of Parmesan cheese.
Place the pizza pan in the oven, then turn the flames to low. Cook for 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally to make sure the corners of the pizza don’t burn. If you notice the pizza is taking on too much colour too quickly, turn the flame off and cook with the residual heat.
Remove the pizza from the oven, then carefully take the pizza out of the pan and rest on a cooling rack. (This will keep the bottom crispy.)
Slice and enjoy.
